User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion/Criteria for editor deletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below you will find a set of criteria for editor deletion. ONLY nominate under these criteria, otherwise communistic, power-hungry admins other good-faith editors will remove your nom from the list.

General criteria

[edit]

These criteria apply to all editors, and are in addition to editor-specific criteria in following sections.

  1. Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent editor with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing skills, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, or hoaxes of any sort.
  2. Unblocked/unbanned editor. An editor who has returned from a block or ban and contributes constructively despite low expectations from others.
  3. Editor requests deletion, if requested in good faith, and provided the editor's only substantial contributions were unsubstantial.
  4. Blatant copyright infringement. Editors whose username is a trademark or copyrighted name of a company or other entity.
  5. Editor runs a bot.
  6. Editor is run by a bot.
  7. Editor contributes at bot-like speeds.
  8. Editor is a bot.

Editors

[edit]
  1. No humor. Very stuffy editors lacking sufficient sense of humor. Example: "He is not a funny man with a red car and does not make people laugh."
  2. Too much humor. Refer urgent cases to speedy deletion squad, or wait for their next drive(by).
  3. Foreign language speaking editors who exist on another Wikimedia project.
  4. No indication of importance/significance. This is distinct from questions of notability, verifiability and reliability of sources.
  5. Corrupt or empty editor. Pretty much self-explanatory.
  6. Speedy renaming. Any editor who has had a name change.

User pages

[edit]
  1. Editors with talk pages whose corresponding user page does not exist.
  2. Existent user. User pages of users that do exist. (Check Special:Listusers.)
  3. Revealing user pages. Any information found on an editor's user page may be used as reason for deletion.
  4. Blatant advertising. Editors whose user/talk pages exclusively promote some entity (i.e. a Cabal). Note that simply being a member of such an entity is not reason for deletion.
